Comments from a meeting of the Hope Historical
Society in 2010: Hope Corner from edge of present Hope Orchard on Hatchet
Mountain Road. After 1907, before 1930s. Hope Orchard not yet planted by
Pop Wentworth. Liberty pole still there. Adding to True cannery. No gas
pump at store. Good view of Allie Allen farm, which was once the Sweetland
tavern. Before top burned (1947?). Cooper's shop on right was used as vestry
by church, later as garage by Quincy Peabody, later by John & Dot Salisbury
when they bought corner store from Ludwigs. Church and church yard with
elm in background. Aunt Cordelia's not visible.
